Abstract
In today's society, children are active and vulnerable members, and considering the existing neurological crises and social damages that have led to mental and behavioral disorders in children in various communities, the surrounding spaces and effective components can play a key role in the mental well-being and security of these valuable assets of society. Therefore, by understanding and examining the elements of color and its impact on the educational environment towards reducing children's aggression, a search will be conducted for a space that, by following the principles of color theory, provides an environment for the growth and flourishing of children while also ensuring their mental health. In this research, a descriptive-analytical method was used, and data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed, and the data obtained was classified and statistically analyzed using SPSS software. Therefore, by using appropriate colors in the educational environment, we can significantly reduce children's mental stress and help improve their mental health.
